Trading Indices in Both Directions

Updated this week

At FXTRADING.com, we offer you the flexibility to trade indices both long (bullish) and short (bearish). This means you can potentially benefit from both rising and falling markets, giving you more opportunities to trade according to your market outlook.

When you take a long position, you're buying an index with the expectation that its value will increase. Conversely, when you take a short position, you're selling an index with the expectation that its value will decrease. This two-way trading capability allows you to implement various trading strategies regardless of market direction.

To start trading indices in either direction, simply access your preferred trading platform through your Client Portal and select your desired index instrument.
